Excessive training does not induce mitochondrial dysfunction or impair insulin signalling within skeletal muscle

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Three weeks of overtraining in trained endurance athletes reduced exercise performance without impairing glucose tolerance. In skeletal muscle, overtraining was associated with increased expression of lipid metabolism‐related proteins, enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis and preserved insulin signalling, despite elevated oxidative ...

TrustSpec: Simulation‐Grounded Physics‐Driven Spectral Inversion With Uncertainty Quantification for SiC Epitaxial Thickness Metrology

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
TrustSpec reuses a single spectral digital twin both to train a deep ensemble and to verify each prediction via analysis‐by‐synthesis. A two‐channel trust plane automatically releases, reviews, or rejects every SiC epitaxial thickness reading, achieving 0.110 μm mean error with full out‐of‐distribution rejection in simulation.
